Hi, I’m Ellen. Welcome to my coaching practice.
I believe that the more people are living a fulfilled life, the better place our world will be. Because when we affirm our authentic selves in the world, we feel less need to cause pain to others and ourselves.
I collaborate with individuals who are on their paths towards self-discovery, growth, and fulfilment. Together, we will co-create an environment where unconditional acceptance of ourselves is the norm, because it is only then can we clear our clouded visions and explore freely what a fulfilled life looks like for each one of us as unique individuals.
I cannot wait to start this thrilling journey with you.
I offer the following coaching services:
- Personal life coaching

- Self esteem coaching
- Emotional intelligence coaching

There are no failed individuals. Only stars on their paths to be born.

My Story
Born and raised in China, I grew up in a southern city called Kunming. Born as the second child amid the enforcement of China’s one-child policy, my very existence was threatened from the start. A traumatic event happened when I was 13, followed by another at 16, which affected my life in a way that I did not become fully conscious of until nearly 20 years later. I left home at 18 to study in Shanghai. In the process of self exploration, I have worked for many large and small corporations both in China and the UK, studied Engineering, Law and Finance, learnt to manage my own investment portfolios, and taken a keen interest in drawing and painting. I currently live in London and am available to meet in the City and Stratford areas, as well as over Skype.
I first trained in life coaching and counselling in China. Following my relocation to the UK in 2010, starting with my own discovery and development, I began a long journey of preparation for becoming a competent and effective life coach. Coaching not only enabled me to recover from a heartbreaking life event, but also empowered me to reach personal and professional goals that I once thought was impossible. To this day, I continue to develop my own self awareness and emotional vitality, as well as my understanding of others, under the supervision of my own life coach.

My Philosophy
All human behaviours and desires can be understood. The ones driven by self-limiting beliefs, often stem from our insecurities and fears that once protected us as vulnerable children but are no longer serving a positive purpose. Judgment of our behaviours and desires, however, only gets in the way of growth and understanding, but is unfortunately often experienced in our society or among our family and friends. Therefore, I am here to provide an environment free from any form of judgment so that you are free to engage with your own mind at a deep level. As we experience from another the level of unconditional acceptance that we so often deny ourselves, we learn to truly love ourselves and to make changes for which we have been longing.
I believe that real personal growth leads to long-term, sustainable happiness and fulfilment, and is much more important than finding short-term solutions alone. I am here to build genuine, lasting trust and connection with you so that your mind is freed up from the confusing relational dynamics that frequently arise in life and often cloud our vision and judgment. You can think of me as a playmate who constantly wants to know you better, brings you tools that may be helpful, and cheers you on as you take on each adventure, big or small.

My Mission
Now, I want to combine my experiences as a wounded child, a first-generation immigrant, a corporate professional and a human being who has witnessed a lot of life’s pain and beauty, with my love for humanity and belief in peace and actualisation as a natural result of self acceptance. I want to form strong partnerships with those longing for a heightened understanding of themselves and others around them, so that they can live the best life that could ever be imagined. Because the more of us are living a fulfilling life, the more kindness and less need to hurt there will be. Together, we can indeed shift the world.
